Science Writers' Workshop

The Space Telescope Science Institute offers periodic workshops that give writers the opportunity to learn about recent science topics.

The most popular workshop is held in the Spring, when the Space Telescope Science Institute selects a science topic and invites scientists from around the world to speak at a symposium. In conjunction with the symposium, the Office of Public Outreach sponsors a workshop for science writers that includes short talks by several symposium speakers. Science writers also have the opportunity to talk with the speakers.

Science writers who cannot attend our workshops can view them on their computers. Visit our archive for information on past workshops.
